Two groups with the goal of empowerment have come together to help Grade 8 girls in Haldimand and Norfolk.
Laura Hitchon of This Little Light has raised enough money through her business to sponsor all Port Dover girls in Grade 8 to attend this year’s virtual G.I.R.L.S. Power Camp.
This Little Light started as a blog just over a year ago, and has since moved towards a clothing line.
This Little Light sold pink shirts with the message “Be Kind” on them ahead of the anti-bullying awareness Pink Shirt Day on February 24.
From each sale, $5 was put aside to donate to G.I.R.L.S. Power Camp.
Hitchon has not completed a final count but believes they are now between $800-900 raised for the camp.
More information on the apparel line is available at RaiseThemKind.ca.
